              He's in again! T Our old friend , the King
of Beasts, ruler of the Hershey Zoo, is
off on his second jaunt around the coun-try.
This time he is paying his respects
to the peace-abiding citizens of Berks
County and from all accounts his appear-ance
has been greeted with the same
demonstrations of love and affection that
characterized his welcome in the wilds of
Lancaster County several months ago.
How he effected his escape this time is a
mystery, and why he wished to visit that
section of the country is even more
mysterious. When interviewed several
weeks ago, by Mr. A. T. Heilman, genial
custodian of his Majesty's care, he seemed
very penitent and sorry that he had
aroused such a turmoil in the hearts of
the people to whom he had paid his
respects, and he promised to stay in his
royal home for the remainder of the winter.
The fact remains however, leastwise
according to the residents of the afore-mentioned
county, that he has broken
his parole and is once more stealthily:
sneaking along over the frozen soil of
Berks County. No particular instances
have come to light as. yet where he has
inflicted any serious damage but he has
been seen by a number of responsible
persons and since the 16th day of January
has passed, there is no reason to doubt
their word.
It has been suggested that the people
of the territory in which his Royal Nibs is
now promenading, get into communication
with the officials of Lancaster County and
learn how they rid themselves of the terri-ble
danger. At that time, it was reported
that a member of the State Police had
come off second best in an encounter
with His Honor, and that upon several
occasions he had been nearly captured by
valiant and ardent youths. In each case
however, he managed to effect his escape
and finally wandered over into the law-abiding
borough of Hummelstown. Here
he created considerable consternation in
numerous quarters, but finally tiring of
running around and finding, no sympathy,
he returned to his palatial residence in
Hershey Park.
Such was evidently the case in this
instance. Upon learning the situation
in Berks County, Frantz Zinner, who is a
personal friend of His Majesty, hurried
to the Royal Palace where he found the
Lord and Master of the Wilds reposing
in perfect quietude and pensively awaiting
the arrival of Summer when he will once
more greet all his old friends. Upon
learning that he had again been slandered
in such a manner he became very indignant
and threatened to have legal steps taken
to protect his good name.
At all events, the residents of Reading
and the other portion of Berks County
can now rest in security, confident that
his Royal Nibs is safe in his royal palace.

SCENES OF CENTRAL HERSHEY TO
BE SHOWN AT THEATRE
Announcement has hian mode by the
management of the ,IIorflhcy Central
Theatre that a spccifo! film portraying
the various scones arftl activities of the
Hershey interests hi ''Cuba, or Central
Hershey, hb it is culled , will bo presented
in connection with ' the regular shown
Saturday and Monday evenings.
"The Captain of Plymouth" presented
by the students of the Hershey High
School on the evenings of the 15-16 of
January has been pronounced by the
public as a success.
It was the first play of its kind to be
given by the school and has revealed some
excellent musical talent.
Russel Clark in the role of Miles
Standish was the roaring swashbuckler of
the Plymouth Colony. Miss Pauline
Clark most admirably played the part of
Priscilla; she carried the musical parts
with exceptional ability. As John Alden,
Paul Shearer was beyond doubt a success.
The scenes in which the soldiers, sailors,
squaws and Puritans appeared were
realistic enough to take the audience back
to the times of the first settlers of our
country. William Belser who took the
part of the Indian Chief Waltawampt
did not leave the audience in any doubt
that the Pequots were a fierce and fearful
tribe and had a powerful leader.
The music_ of the opera was excellent.
The solo work as well as the choruses
were enthusiastically enjoyed. The sex-tette
of maidens, and the charming Pris-cilla
at the spinning wheel will not soon
be forgotten. All who took part or
helped, in the presentation of this opera
can be rightfully proud of the performance.
Quite a bit of credit is due Miss Beulah
Shutt, who had the Opera in charge and
Miss Ruth Tiffany who so ably assisted
her and to Miss Lillian Rowe who pre-sided
at the piano.
Much favorable comment has been
made upon the most admirable manner
in which Miss Tiffany played the part of
Miles Standist, the second night of the
performance.
Good Local Talent
Developed in Play
Given By Students
Completely outclassing their opponents
in all departments of the game, the Her-shey
Elaines experienced little trouble in
defeating the Elizabethtown Olivets in a
game played on the local floor Tuesday
evening. The final score was 56-14 and
is indicative of the superiority of the
Hershey boys. Smith was high scorer
for the Elaines with 11 field goals to his
credit. In addition he scored six points
from the foul line.
The Elaines have lost but one game this
season and that was by a margin of one
point. The Lebanon team defeated them
by a 20-19 score in a game played on the
Lebanon floor several weeks ago. The
Elaines list of victims includes the Rock-wood
Five of Harrisburg and this contest
is the only one dropped by the Harrisburg
boys this season.
Tuesday evening, February 3, the
Elaines will play the Lebanon High
School Senior Class team and one week
later tliey will oppose the Steel ton Y. M.
H. A. Five. February 17 they will line
up against the Palmyra Big Team. All
the games will he played on the Hershey
door.
Elaines Add to
List of Victims
A CORRECTION
In last week s issue of the Hershey
Press it was slated that Moritz Lovinger
had collected a sum of money for the
relief of the Austrian babies. The state-ment
should have read that the money
was raised for the relief of the Hungarian
babies.
The advance sale of tickets for the
concert to be given by the Hershey Male
Chorus in the Hershey Central Theatre,
Thursday evening, February 5, has been
so high that the management has decided
to have a limited number reserved and
accordingly have announced that holders
of general admission tickets may have
them reserved by presenting same at the
Men's Club on and after Friday morning,
January 30, and paying ten cents extra.
The number of reserved seats however
will be limited to 200 so that persons not
desiring these seats may be assured of
seats in any desired part of the house.
From all appearances the house will be
filled to capacity and it may be necessary
to repeat the concert. Definite action
will be taken on this point within several
days and announcement made.
The management has received an
urgent invitation to give the concert in
Lebanon on the evening of February 12,
under the auspices of the Lebanon Post
of Foreign War Veterans. The invitation
however has not as yet been acted upon
but it is altogether likely that it will be
accepted.

Newsboy King
Pays Visit to
Friends Her e
King Cole, king of the newsboys, made
his appearance in Hershey last week and
received a hearty welcome from his many
friends here. True to his policy of living,
he simply "walked right in and turned
around and walked right out again."
He had been in Hershey last April when
he announced his intention of starting on
a trip around the world. Unforseen cir-cumstances
however arose which prevented
him from completing his trip and he
returned to this section of the country
after having reached the Pacific coast.
Cole brough t with him his cheery smile
and pleasant greeting and seemed none
the worse for his trip. His autograph
album was filled with letters and testi-monials
of men in every walk of life, in-cluding
State and City officials from
every part of the country.
Upon leaving here Cole announced his
intention of striking out for Florida and
the southern states, not to return to this
section for several years.
Cole has had a varied career and is
probably known personally to more city
and state officials and business men than
any person in the United States. He has
travelled all over the world and has seen
experiences that fall to the lot of but few
men.
TRINITY CHURCH TO HOLD

Mr. P, In! Kasson was the guest of
honor at a reception given by Mr. Fred
Bolton at his home in Hummelstow n ,
Monday evening. A splendid supper was
served to the guesth. It had been planned

at this time, but the carrying out of other

Hershey Five
Outclasses York
In Listless Game
"Shots to the right of them; shots to
the left of them, volleyed and thundered;"
such were the sensations of the members
of the York Tremarichs during their
contest with the Hershey Olivets on the
local floor Friday evening. It was one
deluge of shots after another and when
the referee's whistle announced the end
of hostilities, it was found that the York
boys had been slaughtered to the tune of
46-16.
The Hershey boys got into action im-mediately
after the start of the minature
battle and before the Yorkites could get
as much as a good start the locals had
opened up with their long range guns
with deadly effect, succeeding in locating
the basket from all angles. The fierce
counter attacks of the locals prevented
the enemy from inflicting any damage at
any period of the conflict.
Five field goals was the best that the
visitors could do during the entire game,
three of them coming in the first half and
two during the final period. Three of
these were caged by Munford, the right
forward, who also tallied six times from
the foul line. Briggs and Laucks each
succeeded in hitting the basket once.
On the other hand, the Hershey boys
had no trouble in sending the ball through
the net upon 22 occasions with Strine
having the highest average with nine to
h's credit. Elliot was close on h;s heels
with seven baskets. The other points
were nearly evenly divided among the
other players. - ssij
At no period of the game did the visitors
display the ability expected of them, al-though
their floor work at times was very
good.
The York Professional team had been
scheduled for appearance here that night
but they cancelled at a late hour and the
Tremarichs were substituted. The Pro-fessionals
will play here at a'later^date
and will bring their first team.
Tomorrow evening the Lancaster"Army
and Navy Club will be the attraction on
the local floor and the management is
making arrangements to accommodate
a large crowd. The Lancaster boys have
a fast team and took the measure of the
Olivets several weeks ago on the Lancaster
¦floor. The margin of victory however,
was small and with the advantage of
playing on their own floor, the Hershey
boys will undoubtedly give a good account
of themselves.
The new Hershey Bakery, located in
the Press Building, was put into operation
last, week and is now supplying the people
of Hershey and vicinity with bread and
